Students shouldn\u2019t be in the same grade when they\u2019re not on the same level. What we\u2019re talking about is a flexible system that would depend on when a student is ready rather than when a curriculum defines they\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Such a more flexible model is inspired by some of the things that are happening in higher education already. This is a great example of how innovation taken from higher ed is making its way into high schools.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Vinet Madan used a nice metaphor when he explained this approach in our interview. It\u2019s like the decision to take either the scenic route by the coast or the highway to get to your goal. Ultimately, both routes will take you to the destination, it\u2019s just a personal preference.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\n<p><em>Also see:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2012\/09\/27\/mcgraw-hill-exec-tech-will-make-us-rethink-age-grouping-in-schools\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>McGraw-Hill exec: tech will make us rethink age-grouping in\u00a0schools<\/strong><\/a> &#8212; from gigaom.com by Ki Mae Heussner<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The future of education, according to McGraw-Hill &#8212; from edcetera.com by Kirsten Winkler Excerpt: Certainly, there needed to be a set of skills defined to call a student college-ready, but the path of how to achieve these fixed goals should be an individual one that allows students to go after their interests and respects their [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[343,347,37,180,7,199,140,66],"tags":[730,737,739,587,661,569,671,640,603],"class_list":["post-32936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-education","category-education-reform","category-future","category-innovation","category-learning-ecosystem","category-more-voice-more-choice-more-control","category-publishing","category-student-related","tag-curriculum","tag-education","tag-education-reform","tag-future","tag-innovation","tag-learning-ecosystem","tag-more-choice-more-control","tag-publishing","tag-student-related"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32936"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32936\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32946,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32936\/revisions\/32946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
